The spectre is the upgrade of the ghost, the third-tier creature of the Necropolis in Heroes of Might and Magic V.

Spectres are restless spirits bound to the service of the Necromancer who has enslaved them. Their bodies are incorporeal, which makes them harder to hit. The chilling touch of these spirits can drain the mana of enemy creatures, restoring the Spectre with stolen magic.^OffBck

The higher damage and hit points come in handy, but the biggest improvement over the ghost is the mana drain, which can heal and raise fallen spectres. This makes it far easier to avoid losing creatures in combat.

Abilities

• Undead - This creature is not alive (like all other Necropolis creatures) and its morale is always neutral. It cannot be affected by Poison- , Blind- or Mind-related magic.^OffBck
• Incorporeal - This creature is incorporeal so any non-magical attack against it has only 50% chance of inflicting damage.^OffBck
• Flyer - This creature can move on to any free tile on the game field during its turn, regardless of the obstacles in the way.^OffBck
• Mana Drain - When attacking enemy units, this creature can drain their mana and use it to restore its own health, or even to resurrect some killed creatures.^OffBck
